BOA Steakhouse

Boa Constrictors are one of the largest snakes in the world, along with the Reticulated Python and Anaconda.  Boas are non-poisonous... but... just as deadly.

Perhaps named rightly so, BOA is a contender among steakhouses in Los Angeles.  Nestled between Ocean and Second Street in Santa Monica, BOA is a deadly catch for a romantic date.  Picture an ocean breeze skimming the side of your face as you enjoy dinner by candlelight.  As you sip a glass of wine, your mouth begins to water as you cut through a succulent steak.  Feeling lucky?  Perhaps you should order a side of foie gras butter on the side...

Smoked Bacon & Comte Tart  ($14)
caramelized onions, toasted caraway seeds  

The saltiness of the comte perfectly compliments the richness of the bacon.  The tart should be enjoyed with the frisee salad on the side, which is drizzled with an acid based dressing to cut through the creaminess of the cheese.  Caramelized onions on the top add for a sweet touch.

Porterhouse Steak (MKT)

The porterhouse steak should be enjoyed for two.  This is a masterpiece worthy of coming in 2nd to the porterhouse at Ruth Chris.  The roasted garlic on the side is an excellent addition!

Grilled Jumbo Asparagus ($10)

Grilled to perfection.  Best when served with Bearnaise sauce.

S'mores All Grown Up ($9)
warm chocolate brownie, graham crackers, chocolate ice cream, burnt marshmallows

Stated simply, s'mores is my favorite dessert.  However, the layering of the dish needs work...each bite is meant to compliment the other, not overpower it!

After consuming your prey, I suggest a stroll through Third Street Promenade.
